Topic: RE: Going through the motions
Yeah my food funerals have been great today was my last day since I start my preop tomorrow. 11000 isnt too bad considering you are getting it done locally. I am paying 10000 in mexico and I feel like this is a good investimet into myself. I think the single serve blender will come in very hand with the protein shakes so I will see how that goes tomorrow. Our dates are 1 day apart. I am going to take my computer with me to PV so I will be e-mailing and updating my blog with notes during the process if I am feeling up to it. I am looking forward to the vacation part of it and I have been watching allot of you tube and reviews on my surgeon still!! I think I made a good choice though. I am just going to tell my sister and my mom and dad after I get back I just dont want the extra stress. The only other thing I bought was pajamas for the hospital. I also bought my last big girl shirt from lane bryant to wear in PV. I am so ready to be a loser!!!
Take care.
Take care.

I completely understand where your coming from. I told my sister just a few days ago and I really didn't ask for her opinion I just told her so she would know.
Tomorrow I go for my preop appt and then pay for my surgeon and the hospital $9,736 then another $1,500 I will pay later for the anesteologist later.
Now this is seeming a little overwhelming real. Right now I am having a food funeral. I dont have to start my preop diet till July 1st.
I've looked at a little single serve blender at Target think I might have to go back and get that. Got my soft bras ordered them from HSN I really like them.
I will find out tomorrow what else I am missing got little plates and untinsils, little plates, protien drink.
Good luck to you I'm sure we will speak again since our dates are so close together!

Well, I went out to ge****er proof band aids today and a soft mesh bra so I wouldnt have any problems. The thing now I am questioning is the fact that right now I am losing about 1lb a week and I am doing an adjust preop diet just to kinda graduate myself into do the whole thing next week. I also bought a single serve blender today since my son puts the dishes away as one of his chores and I cant find the bottom piece to the one I have.
I also picked up a pack of chewable gas x just in case and a plate that has compartments portioned out. I am done with everything now. I picked up some bottles of my favorite water too; good thing my hubby will be going to carry the suitcase for that.
I am having random thoughts again. I talked to Gerald about the complication insurance and he said in my case he doesnt think it is worth it because I told him if I have complication I do not want an rny under any cir****tances. He said that the rny would be the easiest fix if a leak were to arise. I said I would rather stay in the hospital for another couple of weeks versus that. This blog has been so theraputic and I know I am going to look back on this and say wow look where I have come from.
I pray that God will see me through this just fine as I am doing it for my health and not for vanity. I started my balloon exercises already as well. I admit I kinda feel stupid doing it though. I never had to do it for any other surgeries..
I told my best friend I was having surgery in Mexico today and she was so excited and supportive. I haven' t told my mom or sister yet because I know what their reaction will be. I pray all goes well and I will have wonderful news to tell them when I get home.
My job denied my extra week of leave but I told them I was taking it do to medical reasons and they said I just need a note. The only problem is I don't want to get a note from Dr. Joya and everyone know I had the surgery so I am gonna call my primary care doctor to see if I can get one from her. If that fails I will just get one from my gyn.
Oah my BMI is now 36 so technically I only have to do the preop diet for 5 days but I am gonna do it for 2 weeks because it is more beneficial for me. I just need to settle down and look forward to a brand new me. THis is a big decision and I really know in my heart that I am making the right choice.
I am very thankful for how supportive my husband has been through the whole process. It has made the journey that much easier. Allot of people on the message board said you need to have a strong marriage in order to make it through this ok and I am so thankful that I do. He has seen me big and small and through ups and downs so I think I truly have a life partner.

I hope you're able to relax a little. I know how it feels to not want to stay off the computer. In the beginning I would spend hours upon hours researching every little thing I could about the sleeve. You will definitely reach a point where it won't be so bad, lol. As for the outside the US thing, I agree with you. There are plenty of surgeons in Mexico who have stellar reputations in bariatric surgery. Good luck with you surgery!
